Violets Sweep the Eagles in Second Match of the Season

The #2 ranked New York University men's volleyball team recorded another win in Lisle, IL, on Saturday night by sweeping the Benedictine University Eagles, who are receiving five votes from coaches in the AVCA DIII Preseason Poll.

The Violets won their second consecutive match in straight sets against the Eagles 25-12, 25-20, 25-21.

The third set saw the Eagles gain momentum closing the gap to three points at 24-21. But, a net violation and a kill from Lucas Osiecki turned the tide back in favor of the Violets and they won with a block.
